I also figure that because the grill frames stick out past the baffle you wouldnt get as good of soundstaging. Or something. All i know is that a set of sansui speakers in the garage that have literally a 1 inch lip around the entire front for the grille to fit into seems to really make them sound... Bad. i think is the word im looking for.
